Case of the Month 3Diagnosis

Unilateral Pulmonary Edema secondary to severe mitral

valve regurgitationDifferential Diagnosis - Pulmonary infection- Alveolar hemorrhage- Carcinomatous lymphangitis- Aspiration pneumonitis

Page 24: History : 76-year-old male with severe mitral insufficiency, pulmonary arterial hypertension, acute dyspnea Case of the Month 3 September 2015 Authors:

Case of the Month 3Discussion

Cardiogenic unilateral pulmonary edema (UPE) is a rare entity, frequently leading to initial misdiagnosis

UPE represents about 2.1% of cardiogenic pulmonary edema

UPE is always associated with severe mitral regurgitation

UPE is related to an independent increased risk of mortality and should be promptly recognized to avoid delays in treatment

Page 25: History : 76-year-old male with severe mitral insufficiency, pulmonary arterial hypertension, acute dyspnea Case of the Month 3 September 2015 Authors:

Case of the Month 3Discussion

Left ventricle, mitral valve, left atrium, right superior pulmonary vein, and the RUL are aligned along the path expected for a regurgitant jet caused by mitral insufficiency, with a resulting increase in hydrostatic pressure in the right superior pulmonary vein

Asymmetric pulmonary edema concentrated in the right upper lobe is typically associated with mitral regurgitation resulting from a flail posterior leaflet, which can be caused by rupture of the chordae tendineae or papillary muscle
